Perpenda v1.0 — first release
First public build of Perpenda — an Android app that trains the AI judgment senior product managers now have to use every day. Decision prompts, per-criterion calibrated grading, spaced review. The first 15 units ship now; the remaining 5 "operations" units (monitoring, vendor risk, A/B, fallbacks) are held back so the closed beta decides which production topics matter most. Not a tutorial app.
What's in v1.0
- 15 units across the core LLM-systems curriculum (tokenization, context windows, latency, evals, cost dynamics, prompt design basics, hallucination + reliability, cost dynamics at scale, fine-tuning vs prompting vs RAG, vector search / RAG fundamentals, streaming UX, tool use, multimodal, agents, safety + content moderation).
- Per-criterion grading with confidence on every decision prompt — no holistic score.
- Spaced review on completed units.
- Cross-device progress sync once signed in.
Privacy at a glance
- No advertising SDKs, no behavioural analytics, no trackers in the app.
- Crash diagnostics via Sentry (EU region, stack trace + device model + OS version only — no email, no answers, no tokens).
- In-app account deletion: About → Delete account.
- Full policy: https://perpenda.com/legal/privacy-policy.html
